Meerut Murder House to Undergo Purification After 19 Months Sealed
Nearly 19 months after merchant navy officer Saurabh Rajput was murdered and his dismembered body concealed in a blue drum in Meerut, the sealed house where the crime occurred is set to undergo a purification ritual and cleaning after Diwali. The house owner, Ompal Singh, announced plans for a 'shuddhikaran' and 'havan' in the affected area. The house was recently reopened by police, who returned Rajput's belongings to his family. Muskaan Rastogi and Sahil Shukla were sentenced to death for the murder.
